i have adhd and there is only one thing wrong with this mod we dont use any more energy than any one else yes we have a harder time staying focused on one thing and yes tedious stuff is like torture to us if its something we dont enjoy but we dont use any more energy than any one else if anything we have more energy than other people so really the energy should burn slower not faster

My guess is because the hyperactivity, myself suspect had adhd because had some symtoms ( hard concentrated, etc ) only i never i get any professional help to confirm, maybe someday. Anyway i can "change" without rebuild the trait some little thing like you suggest but i think i will wait, also this trait not is mine and dont want people tell me ( again ) i am stealing others work.

im not telling you to change anything if thats how you want the mod to work in game thats fine i just dont want people getting the wrong ideas about what adhd is i was diagnosed with it when i was 4 years old i have severe adhd so i know what its like the mod has some fair points but i just wanted to put it on the record i think if some one (the original creator of the mod) is going to make a mod like this they need to thoroughly research what it is and i dont mean wikipedia i mean like get the info from sites like webmd.com or the mayo clinics site because adhd is a real problem out there and i think the reason its getting diagnosed more now than it did 20 years ago is because doctors are better trained to fully recognize its symptoms now then they were then

Dude. As an ADHD-haver myself I feel I'm in a position to tell you that you can at least TRY to turn that string of text into something resembling individual sentences. There's a reason people use punctuation, and you can use it, too. ;-)

This is super cool! I remember a different trait that wouldn't let my sims get focused EVER, and it seemed so poorly researched... my sim couldn't even get focused while playing video games! You put a lot of work into this, and I especially appreciate the "hyperfocus" mood.

For some reason, the trait doesn't show up for kids in my game otherwise, this is a good mod.

Everyone is of course different, but it is quite common for people with ADHD to "burnout" and to eventually have to take time off work or studies because of exhaustion. It's mostly due to not having the knowledge or support needed to understand and deal with the ways you function differently from people without ADHD. If you are un-diagnosed you try to meet expectations which people without the diagnosis could meet and you have no explanation as to why you can't. If you are unaware of what makes you act and function differently, you might also not be able to manage you energy resources very well, which would also cause you to burnout quickly.
I think maybe since you got your diagnosis early you knew from the start that you were different, so to speak, and people around you also knew and therefor knew more about what to expect and how to adjust? You also probably had some support and grew up having insight into your difficulties and strengths, I would guess.

Personally, I don't have the "H", just the "ADD". ;P But I can still get hyper sometimes and I find it very difficult to slow down once I get going. This really wreaks havoc on my ability to keep routines and also means I have always had severe trouble falling asleep. Generally speaking though, I have always been under-active and slow to get started. Even though I would get up a the same hour for years during my school years, my brain and body wouldn't start to really wake up until I got home in the afternoon. I still have the same problem (turning 28 this month) and the only thing that helps me is ADHD medication. Without it I'm an exhausted zombie all day and restless and depressed all night. I got my diagnosis when I was about 21 I think (don't remember, because ADD) and I have been unable to work or study for about 5 years (made attempts but failed) due to exhaustion, depression and anxiety. I really wish I had gotten help growing up, because if I had, it probably wouldn't have gotten this bad. I know several other people with ADD and ADHD and their situations are unfortunately a lot like mine and they all struggle with exhaustion and anxiety.
Still, I'm really grateful for the things I've learned and the people I've met in my life and I've let go of the bitterness and the "if only.."s. ^^

But I do agree that for the Sims 4 maybe the energy level probably shouldn't decrease faster... but it's tricky to try to translate real life into sim-form. XP I definitely think there should be a lot of the "energized" buff though, and maybe some random forgetfulness and being bored on an everyday basis, but every week or so throw in a day of being exhausted? Ô.o

Hey! Do you think you would be able to "update" this and maybe somehow make it so you can get this trait not only through trait trait system but also make an option to download as aspiration point trait that you can buy?

Thanks for this mod, I was searching for more realistic traits to add and I met with this one
And even if I am not diagnosed with ADHD I can relate with this people occasionally.

Gracias por este mod, estaba buscando rasgos más realistas para añadir y me topé con este.
E incluso si no fui diagnosticada con TDAH puedo sentirme identificada con este tipo de personas de repente.
